Last year, Apple has launched the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in a (PRODUCT)RED edition. This year the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are also joining the league, though there will be no Red variant of the iPhone X. A portion of proceeds for all RED purchases go directly to Global Fund HIV/AIDS. Apple first became a partner with RED in 2006. The technology giant has donated more than $160 million to the Global Fund in its 12 year association with the organisation. Apple is the largest corporate donor for RED as well.
